Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Hampton who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
